Hi all

I am new to Silent Hunter III, having only heard of the game last week and purchasing it on Friday. I was a little worried whether the game would run on my laptop or not, as I have read lots of different reports with vista problems and starforce etc. However I was plesently suprised that the game installed and ran on my low spec vista machine without a hitch and I wasn't asked for a key code for starforce or anythng, so I can only assume that starforce isn't part of the version I purchased. For anyones information I purchased the Focus Essential Silent Hunter III disk from Amazon.co.uk, Just thought I would share that as I have read lots of people seem to have problems getting the game to work on vista.
So far I am really enjoying the game and I am currently working through the tutorials. I did find the first tutorial extremely hard to begin with mainly due to the lack of help (or handholding) that you generally get with other games. But the penny has dropped now and i'm starting to find my feet in this game, I suppose the real test will be when I get into open water in career mode!
